Vogtherr's Büchlin.
Heinrich Vogtherr's Büchlin is the first European, ophthalmology booklet published in the vernacular. It appeared in 1538 amidst a stream of other medical booklets by the same publisher. Büchlin includes an anatomy of the eye, a description of pathophysiology, various diseases, and numerous remedies. It precedes G. Bartisch's Ophthalmodouleia but earlier texts probably influenced Bartisch more.
